414 East 94th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The four-story tenement building at 414 East 94th Street in East Flatbush, built in 1928 and containing 28 units, has experienced persistent infrastructure issues over recent years, particularly in 2025, when there were multiple service requests regarding heating, electrical, and gas systems. During 2025 alone, there were complaints about heating/hot water (both building-wide and apartment-specific), electrical problems including lighting outages, and cooking gas issues. Inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were often unable to access affected apartments to verify the reported problems.

The building has a documented history of mechanical system challenges, including a boiler violation in 2021 for various safety-related issues with a penalty of $625, and multiple power outages (2022-2023). The property has faced various maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations. These include requirements for proper documentation of bedbug reporting (compliance issues in 2022), water leak repairs, and maintenance of common areas.

Bedbug infestations have been consistently reported, with the most recent filings showing one unit infested in 2024 after previous years' reports showing multiple units affected. The building has undergone several rodent inspections with mixed results; while some inspections passed, there were also findings of rat activity in 2018 and 2021. The property appears to have addressed many violations as they were certified as closed, including those related to water leaks, plaster, and painting issues in Apartment 4A that were resolved between October and November 2022.
